Belichick was asked if the Dec. 10 game between the teams (a 42-14 Patriots win) gives New England any type of advantage in preparations. “No, as we all know, when you play a team twice during the season, the games are totally different. They never go the same way,” he answered. “We’ll be able to certainly look at some of the matchups, individually of guys that faced each other in the game, but as far as plays and calls and things like that matching up, I’m sure they’ll have some new wrinkles and I’m sure we’ll have some too. It will be totally different.”
